Consider Ireland. It’s not just shamrocks making that country green. Money’s been pouring in from around the globe, since Ireland slashed its corporate tax rate to 12.5%, one of the lowest in Europe. In 2015 the country’s economy grew three times as fast as the United States. Companies from the U.S. and across Europe rushed to open operations there.

Closer to home, Canadians of all political stripes — Liberals, Conservatives, and Progressives — put their ideological differences aside and agreed to lower the country’s corporate tax rate from 42% to 26%. They figured fighting over a bigger economic pie beat arguing over how to divvy up a smaller one.

Now the Brits, rocked by Brexit, are preparing to lower corporate taxes, knowing it’s the fastest, most effective way to compete with the European Union.

But Hillary is stuck in the past. American corporate tax rates haven’t changed since her husband was president. Her business plan, which she will unveil in Detroit on Thursday, actually hikes business taxes. She’s obsessed with making corporations pay “their fair share.”

In the “Fair Growth” plan Clinton is set to unveil, there is no private sector growth. Nothing in her plan will promote business investment, according to Moody’s.

Her plan amounts to a $275 billion public works program — a throwback to the 1930’s — paid for by more business taxes. As we learned then, and endured again with Obama’s failed “shovel-ready” boondoggles — government can’t spend its way to prosperity.

Nothing demonstrates Clinton’s incapacity to produce economic growth more vividly than her sorry record as New York’s Senator. Running in 2000 for that job, she boasted that she would bring 200,000 jobs to the economically destitute upstate region. In fact, during her tenure, upstate job growth stagnated and manufacturing jobs plummeted 24%. A grim warning of what the nation can expect from a Hillary Clinton presidency.
